wxStaticBox with empty labels - wxMac compared to wxMSW

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi

the position of the label is mandated by OS X, as well as the minimal spacing below, but it shouldn't accumulate to one entire line, here is an example from the HIG-Bible:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/OSXHIGuidelines/XHIGLayout/chapter_19_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30000360-DontLinkElementID_29

 Best,

Stefan
